"It sent shock waves through us all," Michigan coach John Beilein said Tuesday afternoon before the team left for Champaign, Ill.

Beilein still expects Shepherd to start Wednesday against Illinois, with senior Ron Coleman still slowed by a sprained right ankle. Shepherd started against Northwestern Saturday - where the Wolverines recorded their first win in a month - and had eight points and five assists.

- Coleman's ankle is improving, though Beilein is uncertain if he'll be able to play Wednesday. Coleman didn't dress Saturday, snapping his streak of 114 consecutive games played.

- Sophomore Pete Burak, a walk-on and manager who was added to the roster and suited up for Saturday's game, will dress again Wednesday.
